The Pirates of the Dotombori was founded in December of 2005 after Captain Mike Staffa placed ads in the various English publications in Japan. Members of the Pirates hail from China, USA, England, Canada and New Zealand. The group began rehearsing and debuted at Balabushka’s Bar in Ame-Mura on May 14th, 2006. Since then the group has played venues all over Kansai including Tin’s Hall, Balabushka’s and Trinity Bar. In May the Pirates will storm into Murphy’s bar to perform with a comedian from Ireland. June will see the group take over the dance floor at Club Pure.

The Pirates of the Dotombori are Kwame Alexander, Caitlin Barlow, Genny Bergeret, Amanda Brown, Damon Jacob, Ray Leak, Paul Mathieson, Rick Schreiber, Chaka Small, Mike Staffa Nikki Whiteman, and Zhang Yuning
